Powell teaches how to play Monk with full respect to the original. Monk criticized Miles for not playing the notes, here Powell plays the notes. To play like Bud would be the qualifying exam for bebop pianists whereas to play like Monk still awaits just one student after 70 years and counting, except maybe for Bud himself.
